A Cleanliness Drive was organized by the Sant Nirankari Mission on September 18, 2010 at Red Fort and Qutub Minar, the two great monuments under the Archaeological Survey of India, in Delhi.  More than 5,000 volunteers of Nirankari Sewa Dal and other devotees of the Mission participated.

At Red Fort devotees came from Paharganj, Preet Vihar, Rohtas Nagar, Shahdara and Geeta Colony branches, while volunteers from Mehrauli, Greater Kailash, Malviya Nagar, Govindpuri, Badarpur and Gurgaon participated in the drive at Qutab Minar.

Addressing the volunteers at Red Fort, Shri Gautam Sengupta, Director General, Archaeological Survey of India appreciated their spirit of devotion and dedication.  He said that such a spirit could be expected only from those who are connected with God.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri J.R.D.Satyarthi, President, Sant Nirankari Mandal, said that the saints have always preached for selfless service of humanity, because they accept the entire world as their own.

The drive at Qutab Minar was led by Rev Kirpa Sagar, Member Incharge, Press and Publicity, Shri J.S. Khurana, Mukhya-Sanchalak, Sewa Dal, Shri Vasdev Singh, Upmukhya Sanchalak, Shri Sandeep Khinda and other saints. While addressing devotees of the Mission, Rev Kirpa Sagar said that service to mankind is a seed which never goes waste.  He further said that though the core objective of the Mission has been to bring cleanliness in the minds of human beings through God-knowledge, yet being a part of society, the Mission actively participates in social welfare activities from time to time.  Today's cleanliness drive has been launched at a call from His Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj that it should be the duty of every citizen of Delhi to keep it clean and green for the Commonwealth Games scheduled to be held next month.
